	Coordinate system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the case that vector quantities are considered in relation to position and displacement, as in vector fields, a similarity transformation of space is normally accompanied by a corresponding linear transformation of the other vector quantities, to preserve angles between e.g.
		The transformation is linear because, as opposed to position, most vector quantities have a natural origin, e.g.
		Changing the basis is a coordinate transformation, a linear transformation that can be summarized by a matrix, and is computationally the same as a mapping of points to other points keeping the bases the same: e.g.

		The tapered region of the active waveguide, at a junction of active and passive devices, helps to reduce coupling losses by resonant or adiabatic coupling of the optical energy between the passive waveguide and the active waveguide.

	Passive Voice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		As previously stated, the passive voice in English is formed by combining a form of the verb to be with the past participle of a transitive verb.
		Remember that a true passive construction indicates that an action is performed on the subject of the sentence; whereas a stative passive construction merely describes the state or condition of the subject.
		Passive voice is a tool that writers use unconsciously to keep their readers' focus on the topic of a passage and to maintain a smooth balance between old and new information.

	Passive Transformation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		All passive sentences are derived from active sentences with transitive verbs.
		The direct object of the active sentence becomes the grammatical subject of the passive sentence.
		The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the preposition by in an adverbial agent phrase.

		True passive verbs in Classical and Modern Standard Arabic (as well as “causative” pairs such as learn-teach, wear- dress, which are to a certain extent regularly derived in Arabic) normally precede the topic/subject and yet must still agree in gender with what follows (Haywood and Nahmad 1965).
		This is actually much closer to the original Chomskyan view that transformations serve as bridges between the abstract level of “deep structure” and a concrete “surface” structure.
		This is not an easy task, as transformational dogma is deeply entrenched not only in the drills themselves but in standard metagrammar, not to mention traditional syllabi, which introduce “hard” passive much later than “easy” active.

		Transformational grammars: There are some constructions you can't handle with phrase structure grammars.
		Transformations: You get from the deep structure to the surface structure by passing it through a set of transformations (hence the name transformational grammar).
		Note that this is commonly used as evidence for propositions, not as evidence for transformational grammar.

		In the passive sent been between the direct object and the verb of the same active sentence: The subject is the receiver of the action or, perhaps to be more accurate, the objective or goal.
		In sentences in the active voice, primary focus is on the subject (the agent or doer of the action).

		It is also spoken of an active transport in contrast to passive transport that occurs only in the direction of the concentration gradient.
		In order to understand passive transport is it necessary to understand a little of the topics diffusion, permeability and osmosis, too.
		Active transport can be understood when knowing structure and function of integral proteins and the electrochemical properties of the membrane while the understanding of energy transformation requires information about all the molecules within the respective membrane.

		We may also have political reasons to use the passive and shun "I" and "we." The passive construction is a convenient way to avoid taking responsibility.
		The passive verb has two parts: a form of the verb "be" ("was") and the past participle of the main verb ("repaired").

		The active display operates by very rapidly alternating between the left-eye and the right-eye image in the same space.
		The passive method of displaying stereoscopic images is better suited for large groups, since the expensive technology is primarily in the display rather than each pair of glasses (polarized glasses run about $1.20 a pair).
		The concept is simple; project both the left eye and the right eye simultaneously into the same space, and then use a special set of glasses which shows each image to its intended eye while blocking out the unintended image from that eye.

	Supporting English Acquisition
		In course assignments, you can increase students’ exposure to passive voice structures by incorporating them into exercises in ways where they might naturally appear and where their meaning is absolutely clear.
		For reinforcing the distinction between active and passive, you can develop inductive exercises related to specific assignments that force students to choose between active and passive sentences.
		The result can be a confusion of forms, with a combination of elements which are neither active nor passive.” He further asserts that an important function of the passive voice construction, “as a means of describing a sequentially ordered process, may not be obvious to the student as a result of such practice exercises” (p.

		Further, she argues, women were not just seen as passive sexually; although moikheia (adultery) was an offense against the man who controlled the woman involved, the implication is that the woman had taken control of her own sexuality, subverting her husband's control.
		Key to the distinction of gender roles was the concept that men are active and women passive, or that men are penetrators and women penetrated.
		To be the passive partner in a sexual relation was muliebria pati, "to have a woman's experience," but to be penetrated was not just the experience of a woman but also that of a slave or freedman.

	Spanish Language Exercises - Passive - Passive I
		The first thing we need to know about the passive sentence in Spanish is that it is practically inexistent in oral speech, and its presence in written language is mainly due to the influence of English.
		In active sentences, we usually find three elements: a subject, a verb and an object.
		Here are some more examples of active and passive sentences.

		The relationship of the abstract to the concrete is closely connected to that between the abstraction and the "more primary substances" or namable things upon which the abstraction's "being" depends, in that the concrete predication contrasted with a given abstraction is applied to the more primary substances upon which the abstraction in question depends.

		A Niuean transitive clause without an expressed agent requires a passive translation in English, and this should be pointed out, but to say that a transitive clause with an overt agent and patient is a passive construction is another matter entirely, and not a solution usually chosen in grammars of Polynesian languages.
		As noted above, the term "active" is introduced as a semantic class of intransitive verb, in contrast to stative (18).
		In the entry for the prefix ma- we are told that it is "attached to verbs to transform them into participles, often indicating some natural or accidental happening, agent unknown or irrelevant" (193).
